Comptons Lane, Horsham Consultation

West Sussex County Council and Horsham District Council are working together to deliver improvements that will benefit residents, businesses and visitors alike. By encouraging more walking, wheeling and cycling, we can help to reduce congestion on the region’s already busy road network. It will also help to improve air quality and create safer, more pleasant places in which to live, work and do business.

These proposals are focused on improving safety along Comptons Lane, near The Forest Secondary School, to the east of Horsham town centre. The proposals will help people travelling on foot or by bike more easily navigate the area, particularly the high volume of students travelling to and from the school. A key element of the scheme is to reconfigure the junction where Bennetts Road meets Comptons Lane, to improve the layout and ensure the junction can be safely and easily navigated by pedestrians and cyclists. The scheme will help address safety concerns raised by the school and help alleviate congestion along this already busy route.

We are seeking your feedback between Tuesday 23 June 2026 until Tuesday 04 August 2026 to shape further development of our detailed designs and inform our decision on how to take the proposals forward.
